Infrared Sensors for Human sensing

New technology enables us to change our daily life at home to a more convenient, secure, safe, and energy saving environment with sensors.

Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) provides the infrared photo-diode (quantum-type infrared sensor) based on the manufacturing technology of compound semiconductor which has been developing with magnetometric sensor products.
Cooling process is not necessary and room temperature operation is possible, while the advantage of quantum type infrared sensors, such as a fast response and a direct-current output, remains.
This feature enhances ease of use, and makes small and thin size possible.

AKM provides sensor IC which integrates infrared sensor elements and other components such as a signal processing IC.
